Venere Genitrice

Venus, goddess of love and beauty, wears a long robe that adheres to the body giving life to a particular wet effect, which characterizes the sculptural tradition from Phidias onwards (late 5th century BC) This type of figure in the age of the Romans had several replicas and is conventionally referred to as the “Louvre – Naples”, from the places where the best replicas are kept. The original piece was probably work of the Greek sculptor Callimaco, one of the most innovative and original exponents among those trained at the school of Phidias.

THE TECHNIQUE

Our body of work proudly stands within the “New Modern” category, drawing direct inspiration from the formidable European artists of the 20th century. This innovative category marks the confluence of unparalleled talent in graphic, painting, and typographic realms. The legacy of these maestros laid the groundwork for a rich heritage, from which our collection is inspired and emerges. Within it, we discern the influence of masters like Kandinsky and Joan Miró, among others, whose seminal contributions have not only shaped the course of art history but have also guided our artistic journey.
